tonight my thoughts are on love,
love for my wife,
for the hunger of life,
the yearning to serve,
to embrace my dear friends,
to be embraced.

the healing experienced in the arms of love
their sweet sweet nourishing waters
as they soothe
caress
and ease the tensions of life

love breathes newness into our sorrows
scatters the darkness
lightens,
touches,
and breaks us free from the burdens we suffer

love
love
hold us tonight

amen.
